Pros: Everyone you'll work with here is incredibly motivated to build the best possible product and extremely talented at doing that. You're able to make an impact on the product and, more generally, how things work immediately, without waiting for seniority or a promotion. We move fast here, meaning your finished project won't sit around for months before shipping, and we adapt rapidly to changes in the market. There is no such thing as an unimportant project here. We have so much to do and not enough people to do it that no one spends time on anything that won't have a big impact, not even interns. Progression in the company, salary increases, equity refreshers, etc., happen in a clear and fair manner. They take care of us very well from a perks and compensation perspective: great food, an awesome campus, and more. Everything is very flexible. As long as you get your work done and make your (very few) meetings, you pick your work hours. You have the resources of a larger company, like a mature codebase, helpful abstractions, and automation of some uninteresting tasks – all things that let you focus more on the interesting parts of your job rather than tedious setup.

Cons: For the first time in my life, I need to watch my weight due to the awesome food and snack selection.

Pros: Good pay, great benefits. Also, at Meta, you get the opportunity for personal and professional growth due to being surrounded by highly skilled and motivated individuals.

Cons: Anxiety-Inducing Reviews: The review system at Meta causes a significant amount of anxiety among us due to a "sink or swim" environment.

Pros: Senior engineers, a strong learning vibe, and a culture to grow together.

Cons: Negative media coverage can affect a sense of mission.
